Are you ready for Christmas dinner... in a can?

IF the prospect of slaving over a hot stove on Christmas morning leaves you cold, here’s the solution.

You don’t even have to pop it in the microwave as the meal cooks itself in 12 minutes []

A slap-up dinner of traditional turkey accompanied by winter vegetables,
chipolatas, stuffing and cranberry jelly is going on sale – and it all
comes in a tin can.

You don’t even have to pop it in the microwave as the meal cooks itself in 12 minutes.

The Christmas Dinner HotCan is
on sale for the first time, on gift website Firebox.com. Costing £5.99,
it differs from a roast turkey in that it comes in the form of a
casserole. It is cooked by a chemical process which is triggered by
opening the can.

“Christmas Dinner will never be the same again,” said a Firebox spokesman.

“There’s no need for pesky ovens, microwaves or kettles.

“Just sit down, crack open the
HotCan, relax and enjoy Christmas turkey with all the trimmings.
There’s no need for washing up afterwards, freeing up more time to sit
back and enjoy a good old James Bond film.

“You won’t be awarded any
Michelin stars, but it’s certainly up there with your respectable ready
meals. Plus, your Christmas Dinner HotCan is nutritionally balanced, so
as well as satisfying all your Christmas cravings, you’ll stay trim.”

The tin of food is surrounded
by an outer can, with a water sachet and limestone in between. By
piercing the tin the sachet breaks, causing the water to fl ow into the
limestone, heating the can to 158F.

Meanwhile, research for Asda
supermarkets shows the average Briton can’t cook a perfect Christmas
dinner until they are 36 years old.

And more than half of home cooks say
the trickiest thing is getting the timing right, the survey reveals.
